Our family lives and works in this historic tobacco warehouse close to downtown. Our guest suite, located on the middle floor of the warehouse, is quite mod but still bears vestiges of its historic past—a unique space in all of Viroqua!

The Northern Wisconsin Co-op Tobacco Pool warehouse is one of the most unique and recognizable buildings in Viroqua. It's listed on the local, state, and national registries of historic places. We've been working slowly to renovate it, bit by bit, over the past few years. Today it houses our family, several offices, a photo studio, and now this private guest suite. That leaves over half of the building yet to be developed!
We think the warehouse is a great choice for people who love old buildings or who simply enjoy things that are a bit quirky.

We are located just a couple of blocks from Main Street, the Viroqua Food Co-op, a pharmacy, Driftless Books & Music, Pleasant Ridge Waldorf School, Youth Initiative High School, the Ark, the American Legion (tap beer and karaoke), and various other social clubs.

Great hosts, great location, great experience!

Valorie was a very gracious host. She had everything laid out perfectly. She made us feel welcome. The BNB was easy to find. It looks exactly like the pictures.

Rosalia2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

What a gem! Highly recommend for personal or business, if you are going to be in the Viroqua area. The location is close to all of the shops/restaurants and a cute downtown area. There is a lot of space, full kitchen and both a desk and table for working. The owners are very communicative and live in the building so they were close by if I needed anything, like an iron. The town of Viroqua is cute - there are some shops, a fun art gallery and a couple of great restaurants. The owners gave great recommendations and were knowledgeable about events happening (or not happening, if it's the dead of winter :)). The style of the rooms are great, bed is very comfortable and I love the historic aspect of the building. I plan to stay here again the next time I am in town. Best option of all the places to stay in Viroqua.

Brooke2017-03-01T00:00:00Z

What an excellent space! I loved my stay in Valorie's warehouse. Everything I could have wanted was provided: a warm welcome, time to enjoy the beautifully decorated historic space on my own, a cool and sturdy building to shelter me from the alternately hot days and stormy nights. I was even treated to a giant full rainbow in front of the building during my second night. The location was close to all of the things I wanted to see in town (Ewetopia Yarn Shop, Driftless Cafe, Viroqua Food Co-op, Driftless Books and Music). I parked my car upon arrival and didn't get in it again until it was time to leave, walking everywhere I wanted to go. I recommend this guest suite and the town of Viroqua for those looking to spend some down time in a small, friendly, Wisconsin town. I hope to visit again in the future!

Trinity2016-06-12T00:00:00Z

Our stay was wonderful.... Valorie was super attentive to communicating with us prior to check in, she gave us the code and directions to the place the day ahead so we could plan, told us where to park, what lights to leave on, etc... She checked in with us several times to make sure we had everything we needed... then gave us privacy for a wonderful evening of quiet and rest in a comfortable queen bed with amazingly luxurious sheets.... and also checked in with us in the morning before our departure. It was convenient, fun to peruse their eclectic art, a great kitchen for preparing coffee in the morning (loved your French Press!), microwave, refrigerator, dishes, gas stove, and luxurious towels and handmade soaps in the bathroom. She supplied shampoo and body wash, blow dryer, extra pillows and blankets in the cupboard, a nice sitting area, and all around great experience. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and will definitely recommend it to friends!

Kathleen2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

The pictures, description and reviews were all very accurate! My boyfriend and I didn't get to meet Valorie, but she was very communicative over text. Very nicely decorated and walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Viroqua. Would stay here again! Thanks!

Hannah2016-11-12T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful place! We LOVED the decor, the proximity to shops and restaurants downtown, and the clean, comfortable, cozy atmosphere. Who knew Viroqua would have such a gem?! We had everything we needed right there in the room. Loved the old building mixed with the modern flair and decor. We would love to come back someday and check out the rest of Viroqua!

Kristina2016-12-08T00:00:00Z

A comfortable, roomy place with great aesthetics - such a short stay I never had the chance to use the great little kitchen or 2nd room.

This upper level apartment has beautiful natural light, a combined living/dining space, two well appointed bedrooms with built-in desks, a fully furnished fun vintage kitchen, a full bath, and a private deck.
Reserved parking by the entry door.

The Green Door Apartment is one of 3 units that comprise 217 on Main, our newly revitalized short term rental units in the heart of Viroqua, Wisconsin. Each apartment has its own private entrance and keyless digital entry. The Green Door apartment is fully furnished and includes everything you need for your short or long term stay. The apartment has retro details coupled with a minimally designed modern stylish interior.

We stay here a lot because it is fantastic. I really can't add more to my previous reviews than that . There are 3 units in the house depending on what you want. This unit is perfect for two couples, one couple or bunch of guys fly fishing! Connie and Elliot are genuine people who manage a clean comfortable property. They are easy to communicate with. Viroqua is the center of fly fishing the Driftless. And bike riding, touring, etc. Ok, I did add a lot.

Eric2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

5 stars! Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The apartment was marvelous, sleep accommodations wonderful. Apartment is beautifully decorated - the sunny surroundings kept everyone's spirits high. We ate at the Driftless Cafe in Viroqua (ALSO 5 stars!) and Borgen's in Westby (lefse omelette... unbelievable...). Wireless/NETFLIX/Amazon video... what more could travelers ask? THANK YOU for the memories.

Kathy 2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Three of us rented the apartment for a girls' weekend and it was absolutely perfect in every way! More spacious than we expected, the place was tastefully decorated, tidy, quiet and stocked/furnished with everything we needed. Ellliott and Connie responded very promptly when we contacted them. The location was convenient, the beds comfortable, and everything was super-clean! Seldom do I stay anywhere that I immediately feel so at-home and relaxed. Five stars all the way! If you're going to the Viroqua area, this is definitely the place to stay.

Martha2016-10-03T00:00:00Z

I arrived at location close to midnight and I was delighted to find lights on and it was pleasantly warm. I was in town for 4 nights for work so I find comfort in a more homey atmosphere when having to stay that long. Full kitchen, 2 bedrooms...very stylish. I opted to stay in the green door location. I also chose a twin bed over queen for myself as it was so comfortable. During my stay, the hot water heater went, but they were very accommodating and opened up one of the downstairs locations for me to use...not a big deal! I did bring my own hair dryer, just an FYI ladies. Again, not a big deal. Kitchen has all the equipment you'd need....oven, pots & pans, etc.

Great place to stay! Enjoyed every minute. Clean and beautiful. We enjoyed the attention to detail. Hosts were amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Vera2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at this lovely apartment! It is even better than the pictures make it look. The living room is comfortable and roomy (and the TV was a plus on the night that it rained!), the bedrooms are spacious and very nicely furnished with very comfortable beds, dressers, nightstands, etc. The bathroom is also well-stocked with toiletries. It was clean, homey, and very inviting! There aren't a ton of restaurants in Viroqua so we were grateful to have the super well-stocked kitchen and the co-op right down the street. The kitchen has literally everything you could ever need, including coffee! There's a picnic table outside to eat at and the patio with tables and chairs was perfect for breakfast and post-fishing happy hour. And such a bonus -- they've added window unit air conditioners that aren't currently listed! We were having such a great time that we stayed an extra night, and Connie was completely accommodating! If you want to experience the Viroqua area for fishing, biking, and hiking but still want a clean, nice place to come home to afterward -- this is your spot!

Christine2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Apartment was spacious, neat, tidy, and stylish. Transaction was simple and easy. Overall great experience. This apartment is right in the middle of Viroqua on Main Street, and you can walk to some small mom and pop shops, and other eateries.

The Red Door Suite is the front unit of 217 on Main, short term rentals in the heart of Viroqua.

The perfect place, right in the heart of Viroqua! An old house, right on Main St., perfectly rehabbed & upgraded, made for a very comfortable stay. All the hospitality details were perfectly executed; the place was immaculate. Some tips for travellers: the Viroqua Grocery Coop is an easy 1.5 blocks away--great breakfast, with an outdoor veranda! The best place to get a beer, replete with a spectacular selection of micro-brews on tap--now get this--The American Legion 1.5 blocks, just to the rear. It ain't yer grandpappy's American Legion! It is smoke-free and very welcoming to everyone of all genders (etc.) who walks through the door--veterans or no. We will definitely be back to 217!

We were given clear and accurate instructions for parking, for accessing the apartment and checking in and out. The neighborhood is pleasant small town, but the street in front is a state highway and there were some loud trucks during the night. The apartment is very pleasant and very clean and carefully furnished with items a visitor might need.

Carolyn2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Easy, fast communication with Elliot & Connie. Place was clean and comfortable. An outside table & chairs at the front of the (street side) would have been nice.

We LOVED our stay at the Red Door Apartment! We were in Viroqua to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday. It was the perfect location - right in the heart of Viroqua. A few blocks away from Driftless Cafe, where we had a wonderful dinner. The apartment was extremely clean and convenient, but can we talk about those beds?! They were SO comfortable! Definitely a cozy place to stay, and we will definitely be back! Connie and Elliot are wonderful hosts! They made us feel right at home. Thanks for having us!

Two of the bedrooms consist of a queen bed; one twin in one bedroom; and twin bunk beds in the third bedroom. A sofa bed is also in the fourth bedroom.

The house is a block off Main Street so you will hear traffic throughout the day and some semi truck movement throughout the night, but it is a fairly quiet town with a mix of single family homes, duplexes, and a few businesses nearby.

Exactly as described. It's an old house with loads of charm and an artistic touch. Location is convenient right in town and walking distance to our fav restaurant The Driftless Cafe. Perfect for a family, accommodations for baby and kids. Ray was very easy to work with and they left a little care basket which was a kind touch.

Lisa2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

This historical home is beautifully finished with clean, minimalist art and stylings. It has a modern, yet lived-in feel to it; it was easy to make ourselves at home right away! The owners made us feel welcome with a lovely basket of dinner items and lots of information about the workings of the house so that we'd be comfortable from the start. (In general, they were excellent about getting back to us quickly when we had any questions or concerns.) The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances and cookware, and they even provided several useful baby items such as a crib and a high chair! We had a great stay, and this home comes highly recommended.

Bethany2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

Viroqua, Wisconsin is a cute little town. We felt welcomed and safe in the community. The house is walking distance to shops and restaurants. There were no surprises when we walked into the house. The pictures and description of the house are 100% accurate.

Becky2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

We had a great time visiting Wisconsin. Ray & Kelly were easy to get ahold of of were so kind to leave fresh eggs and Amish chocolates. Their house is very quaint and perfect for children. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that the house didn't look like it had been cleaned for a few weeks. Ray was very apologetic and I'm sure it will be clean for the next guest- Overall, we had a great time staying there.

Sarah2017-03-23T00:00:00Z

We felt very welcome in this lovely home. It was perfect for us - close to town, beautiful and comfortable. We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen, even celebrating our 2-year-old granddaughter's birthday while there. Raymond was very responsive and flexible to any needs we had prior to our arrival and while there. We definitely hope to stay there again if near Viroqua.

Anne2015-03-21T00:00:00Z

Kelly and Ray were excellent hosts, welcoming us into their home. The house was charming and comfortable and couldn't be better situated. Kelly offered loads of information and responded immediately to any and every question we had. Wonderful local coffee and a few nice organic treats made us feel very welcomed. All in all we highly recommend staying at the Siler home when visiting Viroqua! Thanks so much!

Nice and quiet setting in the country. A place to get away from it all!!! You will be staying in the upstairs (downstairs is a garage area). The property has spectacular views of the country. We have many amish neighbors so you will see more amish buggies than cars that go by!

Peaceful with beautiful views. Fireplace, open concept, cozy and relaxing! This is a 2 bedroom. The first bedroom has one queen size bed and one twin size bed. The 2nd bedroom as one twin size bed. There is also a couch and a futon that can pull out into a bed if you have a larger group.

Karen's place is a lovely get away in an agricultural area. The town is full of delightful stores and restaurants that will surprise many with quality food and organic pride. To be sure, know that ATT cellular service does NOT work in this part of the US at this time. Don't count on creating a hot spot with your phone! Karen herself is warm, gentle and caring. The space reflects its owner by being comfortable and ready for guests! I recommend!

Deborah2015-05-15T00:00:00Z

My friends and I needed a a weekend away from our families to relax, and that's exactly what we got to do! The cabin was very comfortable and enough space for 5 of us gals. She had some table games and DVDs we could use. The area was quiet and private, for the exception of some buggies that drove by, but those were fun to watch. Her cat and dog are very friendly. Karen wasn't there when we first arrived but her husband showed us around. And she made sure to visit us the next day to make sure we had everything we needed. Very lovely family and a perfect little getaway spot! Thanks Karen and family!

The host checKed on us soon after our arrival. He was helpful with recommendations for activities and dining. The loft is in the yard of the property, the description does not say it is in a wooded area, but because it is Hunter's and Fisherman's loft I assumed it would be.

Pat2015-10-04T00:00:00Z

What an incredible hilltop view of farmland and woods! Friendly and welcoming hosts (Diesel the dog included!). The space is cozy and well-appointed. The hosts live right next door, but it still feels quite private. Love Viroqua nearby and the Amish neighbors in their buggies.

Kathy was very prompt in answering all my inquiries and came to receive us at the door even though we arrived kind of late. Our hosts engaged us in friendly chats after we got up in the morning. They offered to show us the hiking trails around their home (very lovely surroundings), but were also respectful of our time and space when we decided to hit the road right away instead. They showed us the perfect balance of warm friendliness without being imposing. We felt welcomed, enjoyed our stay at their home, and very much appreciated our hosts' genuine kindness.

Yuyen2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Kathy and James incredibly gracious and hospitable. Even though we arrived quite late, they made sure we had tea and we're comfortable before going to bed. In the morning, we received very bad news from home. Kathy was empathic and generous, extending our check out time without hesitation so we could deal with the crisis. Thank you for making us feel so at home. Note to travelers with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS): the house and the room were almost completely fragrance-free. I was comfortable with my pillow, the host's linens and blankets, and the window cracked. The fragrance in the usual bathroom products lingered strongly even after I removed them. This will not be an issue for anybody who doesn't have MCS.

Enjoy the scenic view from our porch, and take part in many outdoor activities. RV and horse space available.

This is a log home, not a cabin. Some say it would be excellent for corporate meetings, scrap booking, small family get togethers or intimate escapes. People have said the sky is so clear at night that they can see all the constellations. We love it here and invite you to do the same. Enjoy the outdoor grill and fire pit.

Viroqua is a growing foodie hot spot with a thriving organic farming community, and great restaurants (including on James Beard nominated chef). The best cheese curds, locally raised buffalo burgers, homemade pizza, and cheap beers are just down the road from Pine Haven at a local hangout called "Norwegian Hollow."

We were welcomed by our hosts and shown around. The house is beautiful, clean, comfortable beds, big yard, private. We had a wonderful time as a family We spent a lot of time on the back porch!

Enjoy the peace and quiet at my big old country farmhouse. Sit on the front porch or by the fire pit, relax and take in all my animals and the beautiful views. I have 2 bedrooms simply set-up on the 2nd level of my home. I live in the house also, but you will have your privacy. I have no WI-FI, cable TV, air conditioning and your cell may have sketchy service. I have 2 kittens and 2 adult cats that come in and out out. Fresh eggs from my chickens are provided for your complimentary breakfast!

I have 2 separate private bedrooms all located on the 2nd level of my home for you to choose from. They are set up very simply. No TV's, cable or WI-FI access. There is a queen size bed-semi-plush in one bedroom and full size bed-plush in the 2nd bedroom. Clean sheets, pillows, blankets and towels are provided. You will need to provide your own bathroom essentials. (although I have extra's if you forget something:) You will share the bathroom/shower with me on the upstairs level. You will have full access to the kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom and your bedroom. Also access to my large yard, where you can feed my horses, chickens, and goose treats! Hunter's, biker's, hiker's and horse people are welcome!

I am six miles from the town of Viroqua, WI. on a winding road in the country. It is a quiet place in the country. You will see an abundance of wild life such as deer, turkey, pheasants, bald eagles and Amish country. The Amish have roadside stands with fresh produce, furniture, rugs, and goodies for you to purchase if you would like. I am about a half hour from the "Great River Road" that is Hwy 35, that can take you to many great attractions. See my guidebook for some of my favorite fun places to visit!

We had a great experience here! Very cozy, country place to stay. House was clean and welcoming, especially the farm fresh eggs for us in the fridge. We were very thankful that Jen had the pellet stove running since it was unseasonably cold the night we stayed. Our daughter loved the friendly cats and overall it was a nice relaxing night.

We had a lovely time in this quiet country home. Simple, peaceful and charming home. Plenty of room for our kids to run outside. And the rolling green hills, great small town nearby, and Amish roadside stands were all fantastic. Jen was a cheery, fun and sweet hostess, letting our kids feed the horses treats and hold the chickens. We all had a wonderful time. Thank you, Jen!

Relax with a massage during your stay at The Garden Cottage. Wayne is a licensed massage therapist (LMT) who has been helping clients since 2009 in our home as well as in office and chiropractic settings. Sessions take place in our home. The room is large and comfortable with beautiful views. You may accompany your partner while they receive a massage, relaxing with a book if you choose. Wayne practices an integrated approach to massage - combining deep tissue and trigger point release with relaxation in each session. He believes stress relief is equally important and hopes that each client leaves with a profound sense of peace.
The Garden Cottage is licensed with the State of Wisconsin. Sorry but we have a no-pet policy. The cottage is perfect for two adults; we cannot accept guests under 18 years old.

The cottage is just 6 miles from Viroqua, 13 miles from the Mississippi River at Genoa, and close to several county parks and trout streams. We are located near several Amish communities that welcome visitors to their homes where you can buy home-made furniture, baked goods, maple syrup, greenhouse plants and quilts. There's great hiking, bird watching, biking and canoeing/kayaking within a 10 to 45 minute drive.

I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! I was looking for a quiet place to explore and get some writing done on my own, and this definitely fit the bill. Wayne & Sherry were great hosts, providing notes/maps on places to visit, eat, and explore. I did a lot of solo hiking, saw a few new birds, and ate a great black bean burger at Driftless Cafe. The cottage itself was the cleanest, coziest little place, with a great porch for coffee and bird-watching and sunrises. Oh, and it smelled so nice! Definitely would go back--though I'd probably have to bring my husband for fishing next time.

This cottage was the perfect spot for my husband and me while visiting family in Viroqua and taking in the Winding Roads Art Show. Wayne and Sherrie's little one room cottage with a lovely porch was immaculately clean, everything was in working order and everything we needed (or wanted) was provided. I was mesmerized by the number of birds our hosts have attracted to their property with nesting boxes and feeders. Spent hours trying to get that perfect bird photograph. Beautiful landscaping throughout. The only minus was the very weak internet connection.

Christiane2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

We found our stay at the cottage to be perfect. It is in an idylic setting in rolling farm country sitting on a hilltop facing the dawn sunrise. They gave clear directions and it was easy to find. The owners are very careful about giving privacy, but happy to give as much area information as you would like. The cottage was very clean, and the bed was comfortable with a good selection of pillows and blankets. Don't expect a robust WiFi. - it's in the country, but if you must get online there are plenty of public WiFi locations in Viroqua five miles away. We were delighted with our stay!

This was exactly what I needed - a small, quiet, private cottage where I could just take the time and replenish. Wayne and Sherrie have a great thing here, and were fantastic hosts: the place was incredibly clean, well-appointed, and cozy. They offered their assistance, were willing to help, but also respected my privacy which seems to me to be a unique combination, and for that I am grateful! I will certainly be returning to this location, and recommend it to anyone else who is considering it, 100%. Many thanks for a great experience!

Mark2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

This was the second time I stayed at Wayne and Sherrie's cottage and it felt like home away from home. Sherrie and Wayne have always been very helpful, but also allow you to maintain your privacy if you want. The cottage is just big enough that you have room to move around and not trip over furniture, while feeling very cozy. It has a kitchenette that is fully stocked for cooking and dining. And the bathroom is very modern and functional. Thanks again for helping me have a relaxing weekend. Maybe next time I'll finally experience a weekend without rain! :)

Brett2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I spent the evenings in the cottage playing music and enjoying our company in a comfortable space, we would wake up and watch the sunrise come over the barn out front and have coffee out on the porch. During he day we never had to travel too far for hiking opportunities or access to rivers and streams.

Isabel2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

What a lovely space. Very generous of Wayne and Sherrie to share their lovely retreat in the country. So quiet, slept great! Beautiful views. I brought books to read and found myself gazing into the valley instead. Love the hilltop 360 birds eye view of the valley. They generously offered fresh veggies from the garden...pick as desired. One morning we saw Sherrie picking apples, later that afternoon she offered to share delicious apple kuchen. A very special place. We are already discussing when we may be able to fit in another visit. Wayne and Sherrie are laid back gentle souls. What a gift they are providing all who visit. A peaceful retreat!

This inviting apartment has a bright and modern living room with quality leather furniture, a vintage kitchen with modern updates, two simple serene bedrooms, a full bath, and a sheltered sitting porch.

This apartment is one of 3 units which comprise 217 on Main, short term rentals in the heart of Viroqua. The apartments are distinguished by their door color. This is the Blue Door Apartment. It is located in the rear of the building on the first level. All apartments have private entrances and keyless digital locks (code changed every time).

The Blue Door Apartment is located just steps away from the restaurants, shops, musical, theatre, and art venues in downtown Viroqua.

Connie and Elliot were very accommodating as we had some special needs traveling with my 94 year old mother-in-law. The place was clean, bright and comfortable - a perfect small apartment. Had everything we needed in the kitchen as well. We will definitely stay here again.

Nora2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

We had an incredible experience. The place was extremely clean, fresh and roomy. Everything that we could ever need was provided. We hated to leave and will definitely stay here again. The hosts were attentive and so friendly. This is a " must stay"if you are ever in the area. A true 5 Star experience.

Peggy2016-04-26T00:00:00Z

One of the most comfortable stays my family has had in a rental. They really thought of everything. One room had a full bed, the other, a queen. The beds were very comfortable. We had a small issue with a door knob that wouldn't turn, and Elliot was there within 10 minutes to fix it. I don't think you could ask for more than that. There is lovely porch that easily seats four adults. We enjoyed our last morning out there catching up with friends. Great responsive hosts.

Gypsy2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at the Blue Door Apartment! Check-in was convenient, and the apartment was ready for us to arrive. The apartment is very quiet, sunny and warm. It has a full kitchen with handy supplies for whipping up meals. The living room is very cozy, and has a good-sized TV for those not inclined towards books. And the Roku was a pleasant surprise! The hosts seem very nice and helpful, and responded quickly to any questions we had. It was a great home-away-from-home. Would definitely stay here again.

Tricia2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

We love the Viroqua area, in fact this is our second visit in a month. Our accommodations were great. Such a nice space. Very clean, great porch to sit out on. Terrific location for walking to area destinations. Love seeing the Amish riding down the ride in their carriages. The Driftless cafe is a gem of a restaurant.

Lisa2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Excellent accommodations and host. Communicating with them is easy and they are very responsive. The apartments in this building are clean comfortable and each has its own character. The location in Viroqua is perfect for exploring the area for fly fishing, biking, hiking and relaxing.

Eric2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

The Blue Door apt. is a lovely, well-appointed apartment that is centrally located in downtown Viroqua, in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Elliot and Connie were very responsive anytime I had questions or needed anything. I visited in the winter, so I didn't get to enjoy the private first floor porch, but I look forward to returning in the Spring. A big added convenience is the washer and dryer for guest's use in the basement. This is a true home away from home!

Suzanne2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

I rented this location for my sister and her husband for their wedding night and Elliot and Connie were very open to helping me make it work - getting in to leave a gift basket and being flexible with times. They were awesome and the place was super cute!

Cutest cabin you are likely to ever run across. Seriously, take a look at the images! Two queen sized beds, one in a loft over the main room, the other on the second floor off the loft, sleeps four.
THIS CABIN HAS A COMPOSTING TOILET, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THE SMALL AMOUNT OF WORK IT TAKES TO KEEP COMPOSTING, DO NOT RENT FROM US. For the adventurous, your butt can live the dream as your ancestors did.
This is one of the most beautiful prairies that there is to experience.

The business of our toilet out of the way, lets get down to all the good points. There is not another inhabited structure that can be seen from the cabin (full disclosure: there is a farmhouse and barn that can be seen from some parts of the land). Full kitchen, including microwave. WIFI that is actually faster than my business class in the big city… who would have thunk that they can do it right out here in BFE?!? (and talk about a show stopper: when live streaming a business meeting with the prairie as a backdrop, a pair of hummingbirds zipping right past between you and the computer!) Air conditioning, as well as wood burning stove. Indoor and outdoor showers (yes, it is well worth it to let it all hang out while taking a shower having a view of one of the most pristine prairies in the state!). Fire ring for campfires, an outdoor hammock chair perfect for reading while keeping an eye out for wildlife on the prairie. A telescope one can use for viewing the planets or the moon depending on the lunar cycle. There is a Weber charcoal grill with a rotisserie collar. And of course, for your pooping pleasure, the composting toilet, which we call the Throne.
The land: what can one say about this unique plot of land? This is one of the most beautiful prairies that there is to experience. The berm across the road is a prairie remnant, meaning never tilled, the soil itself is crunchy, it feels completely different from the restored prairie in the valley. From the top of the berm there is stunning views of the valley. The land boasts thirteen distinct ecosystems including a vernal and an oxbow pond, Oak savanna, 220 foot high hills with hardwood forests including a rare stand of hemlock trees. There have been over 130 native prairie plants catalogued on the land.
Intersecting the valley is the West Fork of the Kickapoo River, a Class A catch and release fly fishing stream, purportedly, I am informed by the fly fisherman who fish here, has been one of the best in the world. We have fly fisherman from all around the world who travel to the Coulees to test their skills, there are many to choose from in the area for those inclined.
We have mating pairs of Bald Eagles, Red Tail Hawks, Belted Kingfishers and American Woodcock (the goofiest looking bird one has ever likely seen. Their brains are upside down, crazy(!), which begs the question: do they think the ground is the sky?). Other frequent visitors include Great Blue Heron, Sandhill Cranes, Wild Turkey, Turkey Vultures, Pheasant, Osprey, Owls assorted waterfowl and many species of raptors. But wait, there are smaller birds too! Cardinals, Baltimore and Orchard Orioles, Rose Breasted Grossbeak, Downy, Hairy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Goldfinch, Bluebirds, Barn and Tree Swallows, and Red-winged blackbirds to name a few. There are daily Hummingbird wars.
Deer are plentiful, as well as the occasional Coyote, Red Tail Fox, Beaver, Otter and Muskrat. A fisherman told me of sighting a Wolf den a couple of years ago down valley, a mother with three pups. This spring there was a new den in the side of the berm that I believe from its shape was a Badger’s new condo. In the spring the Peeper Frogs at the Oxbow Pond can be downright deafening. The bugs on the prairie are truly so astounding in scope and number that I will not even go into cataloging them here, except to say that I often leave the two lights on the south face of the cabin on from before sunset, then come back to examine the buggies after dark. Interestingly, this being a healthy prairie, there are so many critters that eat mosquitos that there are virtually none… I can boast that I have been bitten by a mosquito only three times in over eighteen years. That is not to say that there are not bugs that will bite, but I have truly never bothered to put bug spray on. Gnats can be a pain, but putting a little dab of real vanilla extract behind your ears keeps them away (there’s your DYI fact for the day). At times there are hundreds of dragonflies hovering over the prairie feeding, they hang out normally by the pond. Lightening Bugs come free of charge for your nightly viewing pleasure. Butterflies and Moths? Forget about it! They are all over!
The land is bisected by a sparsely traveled county trunk road, some days there are more Amish clip clopping down the road than cars.
Local attractions: The Kickapoo River is twenty minutes away, one of the most beautiful little rivers I have ever canoed. It is the only river in North America, purportedly, to flow north, south, east and west. It boasts stunning undercut forty foot limestone cliffs around every few curves. Visit Amish farms to check out their wares, everything from amazing rugs to maple syrup to free range chickens and Amish bakeries are scattered throughout the coulees. Viroqua is a lovely little city. One might think this a sleepy farm town, but they would most definitely be mistaken. Due to the hippy commune that eventually became Organic Valley (the largest organic farmer’s co-op in the world) and a Waldorf School, Viroqua is an eclectic burg with a crazy mix of farmers, rednecks, the Amish with hippies and new age practitioners to boot. Peppered throughout the Coulees are a surprising number of world class artists and musicians sending their kids to the Waldorf School. Viroqua boasts a fantastic organic grocery store, a consignment co-op store with all sorts of handmade goods and art and a surprising number of new age home businesses such as hot rocks massage and Reiki. There is a local winery that has very good pizza, not so much the wine, in my humble opinion. There are a number of good restaurants, and even old style supper clubs in the area for those inclined to eat out. In the summer and fall vegetable stands are ubiquitous.
Days are best spent doing some of the above then retiring for cocktail hour to the Naked Lady Pool on the river, eating appetizers and drinking cocktails, watching the trout rise and the swallows bounce off the water as they feed, keeping an eye out for large avian visitors. As the sun lowers towards the horizon it is BBQ time! Light a bonfire and watch the stars come to life. For the patient it is sometimes clear enough to spot satellites crossing the sky. Often, depending on the dew point (I’m guessing here) a fog will come creeping up from the river, sometimes so thick that one cannot see the prairie just twenty feet away! Have no fear though, it may be totally clear just a half hour later. Ah, what a way to spend a day! Rinse and repeat!
Things we have seen on the land: My parents once watched as an Osprey swooped down and grabbed a trout out of the river, then as it rose a Bald Eagle stole the fish from it in mid air. That’s some Nature Channel sh*t there! Once while sitting at the bend in the river having cocktails a Great Blue Heron flew in and started feeding not fifteen feet in front of them. After coming back to the cabin from dinner out they gasped as they drove into the valley, it was glowing with not tens of thousand, but hundreds of thousands of fireflies, the entire valley pulsing in unison with their ethereal glow. I have witnessed frog balls (epic, amazing and sometimes tragic all at once… look it up!) Had an American Woodcock flush not a foot from in front of me from its nest. I knew exactly where it was and came back the next day to photograph it. It was so well camouflaged that I could not find it! I have photographed butterflies that are so drunk on pollen that when they got on a flower that wasn’t as pretty as I would like, I give them a little bump on the butt to get them to go to a better flower right next to it. I have witnessed the fledge flight of a baby Bald Eagle. Once while sitting in the Naked Lady Pool with the water up to just below my nose, a mother Muskrat swam up river to bring some grass to her two little babies. They sat there, not eight feet from me, munching away! I have not only seen but heard meteorites and have seen two blow up right above me. After hearing the small crunch of a leaf being stepped on I turned to see two fawns, born earlier that morning, stagger on their wobbly legs, right up to me and sniff my pant leg. The Milky Way is painted across the sky on new moon evenings and I have sighted Jupiter, Saturn and Mars through the telescope. Once, at three in the morning in the winter there was Aurora Borealis so astounding, whirling to a nodule in the southeast, that I got dressed and drove up to watch them from the ridge. I have had heat lightening blasting so loud and close that it shook my innards. Once there was a forty foot tall fire devil dancing across the prairie, shrieking so loud we had to plug our ears, as we did a prairie burn. Approximately an hour before sunset there is a noticeable change in the fragrance of the prairie, it is as if every flower on the land has exhaled at once! At peak the prairie is a virtual sea of flowers both in the valley and on the berm. I once staked out a yard square space that had 14 different species of flowering plants within its bounds. We have seen these and so many other amazing occurrences here. And you no doubt will see none of these, for this is nature. But the good news is that this amazing place is smack dab in the middle of Mother Nature Central… who knows what she may share with you?
We will be renting this gem for only two times this year, for a full week both times. One will be around the traditional peak prairie flower season, the other, peak Autumn color season. This is an estimate based on past year’s experience, not a science, we do our best.
I understand that some may look at what we are charging for a week and think it too expensive. In our defense I will say that we are not just renting a cabin, but an experience of communing with nature. This place is magical, and for me at least, is the sanity that allows me to fight the good fight in the big city. For full disclosure: my parents are getting up there in years and maintaining all this prairie (derned hard work, believe me!) is becoming too much for them. 72 of these 76 acres are for sale. It is entirely conceivable that the two renters this year will be the last to ever have an opportunity to tromp over all of this stunning acreage. We are using the proceeds from this rental to finance the sale of the land.
Please check the calendar. As a prerequisite of my work, often I must have my phone and sound on my computer turned off… please be patient regarding me replying
Be well!!! Michael
